View Patent ↗A multi-modular data center includes at least one modular computing module and at least one modular power supply module. The modular computing module includes a transportable container, a plurality of computing systems, a cooling system, a surveillance system, and a network interface. The modular power supply module includes a transportable container and a plurality of power supply systems. The transportable containers are configured for transport via a transport infrastructure. The plurality of computing systems is mounted within the transportable container. The cooling system is disposed in the transportable container. The surveillance system is configured to monitor the transportable container. The network interface is configured to interface between an Internet access connection and the computing systems. The plurality of power supply systems is mounted within the transportable container.
1. A multi-modular data center, comprising:
at least one modular computing module, each comprising:
a first transportable container configured for transport via a transport infrastructure; and
a plurality of computing systems mounted within the first transportable container and configured to be shipped and operated within the first transportable container;
a cooling system disposed in the first transportable container for transferring heat from inside the container to the exterior;
a surveillance system for monitoring the first transportable container; and
a network interface configured to interface between an Internet access connection and the computing systems; and
at least one modular power supply module, each comprising:
a second transportable container configured for transport via a transport infrastructure; and
a plurality of power supply systems mounted within the second transportable container and configured for generating power for the at least one modular computing module;
wherein the surveillance system includes a camera, an image encoder and a recording unit, and wherein the camera captures a plurality of images of a surveillance subject, and the image encoder includes a storage module, a detection module and a compression module, and wherein the recording unit records the plurality of images from the compression module.
2. The multi-modular data center of claim 1 , wherein the storage module stores the plurality of images of the surveillance subject from the camera, the detection module examines the plurality of images stored in the storage module to determine key portions of each image; and the compression module compresses data of the portions of each image other than the key portions.
3. The multi-modular data center of claim 1 , wherein the modular power supply module further includes a surveillance system for monitoring the second transportable container.
4. The multi-modular data center of claim 3 , wherein the surveillance system includes a camera, an image encoder and a recording unit, and wherein the camera captures a plurality of images of a surveillance subject, the image encoder includes a storage module, a detection module and a compression module, and the recording unit records the plurality of images from the compression module.
5. The multi-modular data center of claim 4 , wherein the storage module stores the plurality of images of the surveillance subject from the camera, the detection module examines the plurality of images stored in the storage module to determine key portions of each image; and wherein the compression module compresses data of the portions of each image other than the key portions.
6. The multi-modular data center of claim 1 , wherein each of said at least one modular power supply module further comprises a cooling system disposed in the second transportable container for transferring heat from inside the container to the exterior.
7. The multi-modular data center of claim 6 , wherein the storage module stores the plurality of images of the surveillance subject from the camera, and wherein the detection module examines the plurality of images stored in the storage module to determine key portions of each image; and wherein the compression module compresses data of the portions of each image other than the key portions.
8. The multi-modular data center of claim 6 , wherein the modular power supply module further includes a surveillance system for monitoring the second transportable container.
9. The multi-modular data center of claim 8 , wherein the surveillance system includes a camera, an image encoder and a recording unit, and wherein the camera captures a plurality of images of a surveillance subject, and wherein the image encoder includes a storage module, a detection module and a compression module, and wherein the recording unit records the plurality of images from the compression module.
10. The multi-modular data center of claim 9 , wherein the storage module stores the plurality of images of the surveillance subject from the camera, and wherein the detection module examines the plurality of images stored in the storage module to determine key portions of each image; and wherein the compression module compresses data of the portions of each image other than the key portions.
